Every VMS application or IP camera that writes data into the network storage using the NFS (Network File System), CIFS (Common Internet File System) or iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interconnect) protocol is able to save video data on the Iomega devices of the StorCenter ix and px Series. This is a perfect solution for large corporations that have already video surveillance systems installed but are now required to expand their capacity due to increased data volumes or new regulations.
